Chapter 14：Fire! Fire! (2/2)

He had a delicious dinner with his parents before heading over to his bedroom for a good nights sleep. Still plotting how he would eventually change the world.

In the middle of the night, Ray was woken up with the thick smell of charcoal. The source of the smell was obvious to him as the smell was something familiar to him, it came from a fire.

Ray's eyes snapped open in alarm. He activated his dragon eyes, so he could see where the fire was coming from.

To his surprise, only their house was on fire. It had started in the kitchen and was rapidly spreading throughout the entire house.

He quickly ran to his parents' bedroom to warn them of what was going on.

”Wake up! Wake up! There's a fire!” Ray shouted.

Both his parents awakened from their sleep and quickly assessed the situation. Without any hesitation, Jack grabbed Ray and Scarlett with both of his hands before he jumped straight out of the window.

While they were outside, the people were starting to gather at the commotion. Scarlett raised both of her hands and started whispering some words to herself.

The fire then started to move like a snake. It swirled, and Scarlett who was controlling the fire audibly mumbled, ”Disperse.”

The fire was split apart and it existed no more. The villagers gathering around the house started whispering with each other.

”It was the Talen's house!”

”Don't you think it's the boy's curse?”

”If we don't get rid of him then one day, the entire village might be destroyed…”

Ray proceeded to ignore the words of the people. It was painfully obvious that this fire wasn't an accident.

'The fire had started recently so the person who did all of these must still be nearby.'

As for the reason why they were sticking around?

It was probably because they wanted to see if they had succeeded in burning Ray down with his parents and their house.

Ray activated his dragon eyes and started to scour the area around him. There weren't many people out since it was in the middle of the night. The only people around the area were those wide awake, and reeling at the fire.

This made it easy for him to spot his suspect. Soon, his dragon eyes caught a figure shuffling about in the dark. It was too dark for Ray to see who the person was, but after following the figure for a while. He instantly realised the identity of the person who did all of these.

It was because the person had entered the residences that belonged to the family of Bob and Kyle.

Obviously, the perpetrators behind the fire were Bob and Kyle's mother.

Ray stood there in the dark with a grim look on his face.

He had enough.

'They tried to kill me and my parents and burn us down along with our house?'

'It seems like I have to start my revenge a little earlier than I had planned.'

Ray whispered into the air.
